Jurgen Klopp has spoken about Jordan Henderson leaving Liverpool.
The club captain has ended his 12-year spell at Anfield to reunite with Steven Gerrard at Saudi Arabian club Al Ettifaq, signing a £700,000-per-week three-year deal.
“Monday when we arrived back in Liverpool, Hendo was waiting for us to say goodbye properly to the team and to the coaching staff as well, so that was a really nice gesture – a really nice thing to do,” Klopp told the official site.
“I know it was a really, really tough decision for Hendo and I was around or with him all the way. It’s sad, absolutely strange, because he is the only captain I had here at Liverpool, but I think it is exciting for him as well.
“We will miss him, without a shadow of a doubt, that’s clear – as a man and as a player. But, as I said, that’s football.”
